Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 203 The Sweetheart You Can't Refuse!
On June 5th, Orlando, TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

In the second game of the Eastern Conference, the Magic played against the 76ers at the Magic's home court.

During the simple appearance and warm-up, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were played.

Li Mu decided to copy Phil Jackson's homework against Iverson. The starting five were Armstrong, McGrady, Hill, Duncan, and O'Neal.

The 76ers started with 5 Tigers, Snow, Iverson, George Lynch, Tyrone Hill, Mutombo.

The game will be narrated by TNT radio station, with Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Moses Malone as guest narrators.

Seeing the starting lineup of the Magic, Barkley wanted to laugh, "Iverson played the game, scored 48 points, and the offense was unstoppable.

Coach Li Mu replaced Armstrong, did he give up treatment? "

"Maybe the Magic want to play against the 76ers?

However, this is impossible, because the 76 team is best at defense, and Iverson will solve the offense.

There's no way Larry Brown will play against the Magic.

If nothing else, Li Mu went to Armstrong, which was a failure. "Kenny Smith is not optimistic either.

"Moses, I also agree with you!" Moses Malone nodded.

In the end, no one knew what Li Mu was planning. Armstrong was just a poor version of Iverson. Now that he was sent in front of Iverson, they couldn't think of any other possibility except slaughter.

beep~
The whistle blew and the basketball was thrown into the sky.

Duncan and Mutombo look up and jump up at the same time.

Snapped--!
Mutombo pulled the basketball into Iverson's hands and scored the first down for the 76ers.

Snow took the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Iverson who was outside the three-point line.

Armsterian went up to defend, put half a step away, did not give a breakthrough, and did not give a shot.

Boom, boom, boom——!
Continuously stepping down and dribbling, Iverson wanted to shake Armstrong's ankle, then broke into the inside line, dunked with one hand, and scored the basketball.

Left and right, Iverson stepped down, stepped down, pushed forward, changed direction, and pulled the ball, which was a drastic change of direction.

"coming.

Iverson's signature CS extraordinary.

Armstrong kept up. His agility was very good, his speed was very fast, his center of gravity was very low, he made a prediction in advance, and he was always in front of Iverson.

Instead of being passed by like in the morning, he was close to the body to defend.

A strange thing happened, McGrady didn't help defend the past.

Could it be that McGrady's back injury has affected his defense and he can only focus on the offensive end?
It was a failure.

Let Iverson single out, this is what a lunatic will do! ’ Kenny Smith shook his head.

Sure enough, on the court, although Iverson couldn't get rid of Armstrong, he was in excellent condition, and he still hit two points from the mid-range shot, which was the first to win.

2 to 0! !
Larry Brown nodded.

Iverson's offense is still unstoppable.

Of course, what satisfies him most is that the 76ers retreated quickly, and Iverson's offense was completed, and he retreated immediately.

With his coaching defense and Iverson's offense, he feels that the Magic will not be an opponent.

Bang-!
Duncan made a low position, knocked Mutombo away with his body, ignored his long hands to block the block, turned around for a layup, slammed with both hands, and blasted the basketball into the basket.

2 to 2! !
In this round, Duncan played a lot like O'Neal, completely crushed by his body.

Mutombo's weight is too light, and Duncan's explosive power is average, but he is actually a flying beast at the level of a beast.

Fighting with the body, Mutombo couldn't stand it at all.

After all, he was 33, no, 34, and not, maybe 35.

Anyway, he is no longer young.

It's easy to bully the inside line of the Bucks, but in front of Duncan, he can't be tough at all.

Offensive and defensive transition, the 76ers attack.

Snow dribbled to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Iverson.

Singled out Armstrong.

Step down, change direction, accelerate...

Knowing that Iverson was suddenly to the left, Armstrong crossed a clean road as if he had been crossed in the early morning.

Go inside, pull the ball up, on Duncan and O'Neal's double ghost hit the goal, the body drifts, throws the basketball, and the body falls out of the court.

Bang-dang-!
Shot from close range, the strike went wide.

Duncan took off the rebound, dribbled it immediately, and quickly passed the ball to Hill.

Snapped--!
A hard hit to the ground to send the ball upcourt.

McGrady rushed up like a cheetah, took the ball in the frontcourt, took three steps for a layup, gliding, singled out and dunked, and scored two points.

2 to 4! !
"The magic team's ability to protect the rim began to show, and Iverson did it to the extreme, but he was a little bit lucky.

Next, Snow continued, handing the basketball to Iverson in the frontcourt.

Change direction, drive, dribble, paint.

Iverson dodged in the air and passed the basketball to the left basket.

Mutombo catches the ball..."

Bang-dang-!
The whole body is hung on the basket.

Dikembe Mutombo ate the cake and returned the color with two points.

4 to 4! !
The Magic attack.

McGrady still handed over basketball to Duncan to play.

Bang-!
It was a physical confrontation again, knocking open the offensive space, turning around and laying up, bang, huh——!
After hitting the board for two points, the basketball got into the net hole.

4 to 6! !
"The inside line of the 76ers is unstoppable, the gap is too obvious.

Mutombo, an inside superstar, has declined in state. " Barkley explained.

"Iverson attacked.

It's still a single defense. The Magic only want Avelin to attack alone. This is to consume his physical energy and reduce his offensive efficiency.

However, this is an overt conspiracy, and it is impossible for Iverson to refuse such a sweetheart.

This is a trap, but for Iverson's 76ers, it is also an opportunity.

Now it depends on whether Iverson can challenge the Magic alone. "

On the field.

Another breakthrough.

Armstrong had just had two rounds and was clean. This time he went straight to the game and interrupted Iverson's breakthrough with a foul.

Serving from the sideline, Armstrong lay in front of Iverson like a hen catching an eagle, refusing to catch the ball for him, wasting his energy.

It was very difficult for the 76ers to pass the basketball to Iverson.

Continue to entangle without hesitation in physical fitness, and as a result, Iverson was directly knocked down.

After passing Armstrong, Iverson went inside, and before Duncan's block was in place, he used a small throw to send the basketball into the basket.

6 to 6! !
"It's Iverson again.

The Magic's defense is useless!

I think that if the Magic continue to defend Iverson in this way without flanking, Iverson is likely to kill the Quartet and score 60 points in a single game.

He has already scored 52 points in the playoffs.

Now the Magic let Iverson single-handedly, this is simply a proposition! " Barkley laughed.

Kenny Smith's face was serious, and he asked a question.

"Can Jordan make it to the Finals without Pippen?

No.

Now Iverson's offensive ability is not weaker than Jordan's, but there seems to be no Pippen in the 76ers team! "

"Duke Mutombo count half!" Moses Malone said.

"That's not enough!"
